Keto Pecan Pie Flavoring

In this recipe, I use Maple Pecan Syrup by ChocZero. ChocZero syrups are full of flavor and are keto friendly. They contain no sugars or sugar alcohols. I love using them in many of my keto baking recipes.

If you don’t want to bother with ChocZero syrup, substitute the syrup with 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream and 1/4 teaspoon of pecan extract.

Mugs for a Mug Cake

Traditionally mug cakes are mixed together in a mug and then baked in the same mug in the microwave for a minute or two. I like to transer my mug cake to a pretty ramekin or I’ll just mix it together in a large ramekin. This recipe will make two pecan pie mug cakes if using a 6 oz ramekin. Remember to coat the mug or ramekin with cooking spray before filling the mug cake so I doesn’t stick to the sides.

Mug Cake in the Oven

If you don’t have a microwave or don’t like to use them, you can still make keto pecan pie mug cakes. Bake the mug cakes in an oven safe dish, like a ramekin, at 325 degrees for 5-10 minutes or until cake is set in the middle.

Optional Toppings for Keto Pecan Pie Mug Cake

Keto pecan pie mug cake is absolutely delicious without additional toppings; however, I highly recommend you add a dollup of whipped cream on top or a scoop of keto friendly ice cream.
